How Dr. Yanique Redwood & Ronnie Galvin Quit America & Built a Beautiful Life in Jamaica
Episode 5
Monday, 2 February, 2026
Special guests YANIQUE REDWOOD & RONNIE GALVIN, co-authors of We Quit America: Our Exit from a Country Designed to Kill Black People, join Courtney for a grounded, unflinching conversation about what it really means to leave the U.S. — and why so many Black Americans are even asking the question right now. Grab your copy of We Quit America here: https://www.wequitamerica.com/ Also in this episode: • Why “quitting America” wasn’t a sudden decision, but a slow reckoning shaped by years of organizing, policy work, and watching the same patterns repeat • The emotional and psychological cost of trying to change systems from the inside — and how to know when staying starts to demand too much • How the pandemic didn’t create their exit, but stripped away illusions many people were already struggling to maintain • What “quitting America” looked like long before leaving physically — including mental, financial, and lifestyle divestment • Why arriving in a new country with intention and care can matter just as much as the decision to leave the U.S. 🎧 Join our global community and get every new episode delivered directly to your inbox: https://blackexpatstories.myflodesk.com/ 🎶 Download the FREE Blaxit Soundtrack & Soul Work Journal: https://blackexpatstories.com/soundtrack Rate, Review & Share!
